I'm showing my age - again. When I think of Ascension, my silly little mind thinks of the Fifth Dimension song, "Up Up and Away in my Beautiful Balloon." Or, with my kids, the movie Up was a big hit.
Up is always a something that fascinates us, probably because gravity keeps us down.
Easter's celebration highlights Jesus' life as divine and human. The miracle of the Ascension is a revelation Pastor Sellhttps://plus.google.com/101439185174489049292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297838476028122703.post-71699941344192096742013-05-02T17:20:00.002-05:002013-05-02T17:20:47.949-05:00Culvers, Secret Pals, and the Big Day
This week was filled with preparation for our confirmation celebrations this weekend. It started at Culver's last Tuesday, where the 7th and 8th graders gathered for some fun and ice cream.
After Culver's, we headed back to church for a once over of what will happen this Sunday at the confirmation service
. We practice walking in, kneeling for the confirmation, etc.
Then, we enjoyed some cakePastor Sellhttps://plus.google.com/101439185174489049292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297838476028122703.post-75914516609072132452013-04-16T11:36:00.004-05:002013-04-19T10:17:51.390-05:00Confirmation Confession - Who and When in ChurchWow! The confirmation class (morning and evening) is doing a great job on their Confirmation Confession wherein they explain either Baptism or the Lord's Supper. I've read half of them already and am impressed. Contact Pastor Sell if there are any discrepancies.
Here is the schedule for reading their Confirmation Confession in the church services at Our Savior.

What a hoot. We've all been there before. When mom caught me red handed, deny, deny, deny. Sin is sometimes funny and sometimes sad. Adults sometimes know to do the right thing, but we don't. It's cute when the little ones get caught. It's embarrassing when adults get caught.
Integrity
It all boils down to integrity. What is integrity? It means to hold to the truth of what you believe and Pastor Sellhttps://plus.google.com/101439185174489049292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297838476028122703.post-52743759525057000112013-03-07T17:03:00.001-06:002013-03-09T11:14:56.504-06:00Fresh Start for Confirmation
As we move forward and May 5th quickly approaches, I thought I'd explain why confirmation is so important.
Confirmation fulfills Matthew 28:19-20. The Lord commanded us to baptize and teach, not just baptize. As we raise our children, Our Savior offers the teaching portion through the Divine Services, bible studies, Sunday School, VBS, youth program, our grade school, and confirmation.
